Singer 7256 Fashion Mate Sewing Machine Questions & Answers
Singer 7256 hook timing off
Hi Sherri,
I'm not sure that's possible in this case. Unless we can get the measurements for this machine and the instruments needed to execute the adjustments you'd need, to set all the measurements it takes to make a sewing machine sew correctly and safely.
I have seen some master machine repair technicians do it by sight and feel. I would let the pros help me with this. Yelp is a great place to start for a honest and able repair shop is near you. Besides, any needed parts aren't sold on a end user level. May be as simple as using the correct needle for the machine.

Skipping stitches
Skipped stitches
1. A bent or dull needle
2. The wrong needle for your fabric
knit fabrics require a jersey or ballpoint tip. Most wovens do well with a universal tip, and specialty fibers, like
leather or metallic, usually require specific needles.
3. Incorrect machine threading
4. Unbalanced needle thread tension
Start by making relatively small changes and run a test stitch to evaluate the impact. If you need to adjust the tension dial using woven cotton fabric with good quality all-purpose thread and a new needle
5.check the needle is inserted correctly. The needle needs to be pushed as far up the needle shaft as possible. It's easy to insert the needle half way, clamp it down and think it is inserted correctly.
the flat part of the needle should be positioned towards the back. If the needle is not inserted correctly, it will not be able to pull up the bobbin thread and will cause skipped stitches.
6. If the suggestions don't help then it is time for a tune-up.

Clean the bobbin case area thoroughly, and probably the feed dogs, too. Start all seams by holding the top and bobbin thread ends together behind the presser foot for the first few stitches. If you have lost your manual, pick up a new one, free, at http://www.singerco.com
